Gorilla Trekking in Rwanda followed by safari & beach in Kenya. A quality itinerary which takes you to Volcanoes National...
Famous for its mountain gorillas and volcanic landscape. Humbling and incredibly rewarding for everybody who visits.
Rwanda is a magnificently scenic country known as the “Land of a Thousand Hills”. After many years of post-colonial conflict which culminated in the 1994 genocide Rwanda’s democratic government can now proclaim to be a country both stable and peaceful.
Almost every visitor who travels to Rwanda comes to see the Mountain Gorillas that live in the Virunga Mountains (Volcanoes National Park) on the border of Uganda, Rwanda and Congo.
It was here that Dian Fossey carried out research for 20 years creating the foundation for mountain gorilla tourism.
Volcanoes National Park: A particularly important area as it has ten habituated gorilla groups which can be trekked. Any close observation and contact with these incredible apes, within their own natural habitat, is one of the most wonderful and inspiring wildlife experiences possible.
Kigali: Depending on your travel plans and possible flight schedule you may require an overnight in Kigali, Rwanda’s attractive capital, which has some historical places of interest as well as its day-to-day appeal.
Kigali is Rwanda’s attractive capital city. Located in the centre of the country and spread out over several hills, it is bustling, colourful and noisy whilst also being clean and safe. It is a city with positive character and ambience.
Volcanoes National Park in Rwanda is home to 10 habituated groups of Mountain Gorillas. It is the most accessible and the most popular place to trek and encounter wild Mountain Gorillas.
We had an amazing family holiday (2 kids aged 10) and the service and recommendations from S&B were fantastic. Local Masai Wanderings guide (Clement) was brilliant, knowledgeable and friendly and a real joy to travel with. Everything went very smoothly which was a testament to the organisation by S&B. Many thanks to Nick and the team, we will be back!
When you book a holiday like this you know it’s going to be early starts and early nights, and on the go Inbetween. It is the most rewarding experience, and the mix of luxury and tented accommodation makes you appreciate both, the consistent is the level of service from all staff, and their inherent friendliness was an added bonus.
I am just back from Tanzania and wanted to thank you very much for a fantastic itinerary. I loved all the accommodation choices made, all the connecting flights worked well and the guide was superb. I had a great time and let me know if you want to get some more feedback on any of the properties suggested by you and also Pongwe Beach which excellent.
We had the BEST time! I have been struggling to put into words how amazing our honeymoon actually was. By the time we got to Selous Riverside Safari Camp it was after lunch so we’d missed the afternoon trip but we went on the river safari late afternoon which was brilliant, could only be discribed as breathtaking for our first few sightings.
